all bred from a Blue/Blue mating


Fawn-and-white Runners

Trio of Indian Runner ducks. These are known as Erbsgelb in Germany (with a brown gene) and  Blau-gelb (no brown gene). They mimic the colour of the heavy breed of duck called the Saxony.

(Left) Group of Apricot Duskies. Developed from  Fawn Runners in Britain, Apricot Runners are the Fawn Runner with two blue genes. 

These duskies do not show eye-stripe markings  in the feathers on the face. The under-wing is also pigmented. They are light phases duskies.  

 

 

This is unlike the Trout, Blue Trout and Apricot Trout (Blau-gelb)  which have eye stripes and  cream/white underwing feathers. The Trout and Blau-gelb are not duskies. They are light phase mallard. (Right) 


The blue colour series in Trout: 
Normal Trout - no blue (middle) 
Blue Trout- one blue gene (back) 
Apricot Trout (Blau-gelb) - two blue genes

Right: Apricot Trout drake (homozygous for blue - alias 'Saxony')
and Blue trout duck (heterozygous for blue)
